  1. I'm not a prude by any means but that seems reasonable. Whats stopping someone from ordering 10+ bottles of something and going crazy?

     

    It really has nothing to do with you, but probably just a general liability issue. Seems like they could probably stand to raise it to two purchases per person, but I'm sure a lawyer somewhere had their reasons.

  2. I enjoyed both the Legend and the Liberty.

     

    I would say the Liberty has the edge for me because of the 2.0 upgrades - I really enjoyed the different food/drink options. We also had Karl with K as our cruise director and he really made the experience on that ship special. But he's gone now, so you can't really factor that in.

     

    The Legend 4K rooms are amazing though, and it is a more intimate and very beautiful ship. Cruising from Tampa is also a lot less hectic than Miami in my opinion too. And cheaper, hotels seem to be cheaper, getting around in taxis seemed cheaper too.

  3. I think that you could definitely do the same itinerary and have a great time. We're repeating a Western Itinerary in a couple of weeks, mostly because of how cheap it was but also because we loved the Liberty.

     

    But I would also highly recommend you consider the Eastern Caribbean itinerary if you are looking for nice beaches - the Liberty Eastern that stops in Turks & Caicos, Half Moon Cay, St. Thomas and Puerto Rico is my absolute favorite and even if you pay a bit more for the ship, you don't really spend a ton of money in any of the ports. Turks and Half Moon both are beautiful beaches, Puerto Rico is a great walking around day and then St. Thomas is another good beach day, or there are lots of other things to do as you mentioned. It also has a large amount of port days like your husband likes.

     

    Also, I really do enjoy cruising from Miami and staying in South Beach prior.

     

    It's definitely refreshing to sail a new ship and itinerary, but no doubt you'd still have a nice time if you did the same ship/itinerary again. That's the beauty of cruising!

  4. I was wondering if anyone did the Bacardi tour on their own in Puerto Rico?

    What was the cost of transportation?

     

    We did the tour back in March and the Ferry ride across is around a $1 or 2 for a return trip and then there are taxis there waiting and I don't remember it being more than around $10-12 each way. I thought it was worth it, you get two free drink tickets and a quick tour. The grounds are very nice. We actually walked up to El Morro first, then took the trolley back and then went over to Bacardi. It was nice because I think we went later so it wasn't crowded. I remember a bottle of plain rum was only $9 or $10 and the flavored ones were $12. I wish I had bought a bottle!

  5. Any of those cabins should be between life boats. We had 4133, which is in a similar position on the map and it was great. It's limited visibility obviously, but you can see out past the life boats.

     

    I'd check the deck above/below to see where the cabins are located and just pick one that you think will be most quiet. We picked 4133 because I believe it was either below or above the shops.
